Commons Video Contest

The Commons Video Contest is for 3-minute videos that aim to communicate commons research to a general public. For a detailed description of the contest please follow this link. Below you can find the 20 entrees we received for the contest. In order to define the winning videos we asked IASC members to express their preferences for their 3 favorite videos. The resulting ranking helped the judging panel selecting the winning videos.

Polling closed at 6:00 PM MST (UTC -7) on November 25, 2018.
